We are winning projects and making money with it. The customer service is very quick with answers and help. They are constantly adding more and more components to the software and I would call it a robust program now. This software handles all of our estimating, from small residential renos to full commercial builds.

Overall: If you're a small electrical shop or a large national company. You should check out this estimating software.

PataBid Quantify helps me estimate faster and with improved accuracy. Going from the field to running my own shop, I started estimating jobs with my field knowledge, experience and pen and paper.

Patabid increased my efficiency and helped me gain confidence in bidding larger commercial projects with a profit. It's user friendly, affordable and their support team is incredible, Melvin, Ian, Ryan and Emily — always quick to help!

Thanks to their expertise and the software’s efficiency, I recently won a $280,000 project for our company, 100% because of PataBid.

Pros: The integration with City Electric Supply made it easy to get live pricing which helped so much with staying on top of market volatility, as well as reviewing where items were increasing the most.

Now that they have added the Gescan integration, it is so fast and easy to compare pricing between the two suppliers, live. It is such a time saver to be able to change suppliers with the click of a button and know that the pricing is accurate and up to date with our account specific pricing.

Having the live integration also cuts out the time spent waiting to receive quotes back from the suppliers, you are able to just send it right out to your salesperson of choice, and have them enter it as an order.

Cons: As for the cons, I find there is little to none.

Overall: PataBid’s software has been an invaluable addition to our estimating process! During 2020 and the following years, we were finding that our previous estimating methods were no longer reliable due to constant change in the market price of material. We also began branching out into new types of work during this time, and needed to revamp our estimating systems entirely. When we found PataBid, it was a life saver!

Pros: Ease of use, you can just jump right in and start using the product.
Readily available support. When you do need help support staff have always been available without long wait times and IT ticketing backlogs.
Ability to customize and adjust on the fly. Can customize global and job specific files.
Quick item pads and the drafting tools are an excellent addition!
The AI features bring an unparalleled value.

Cons: As with any new product there are a few tweaks to made here and there but the PataBid team has always been on top of anything I've brought up in record time!

Overall: The team at PataBid are ready and willing to continuously tweak and update their product and do this in a matter of hours or days, that I've witnessed other software groups take months or years to do... sometimes just never.
Great new forward-thinking product and an awesome team to back it up!

Pros: One of our biggest challenges as small electrical company was estimating, but everything changed when I found Quantify. The platform is truly amazing.

I’m not great with computers and found the platform incredibly easy to use which helped me provide accurate estimates in a timely manner to clients and general contractors.

The systems support I receive from Melvin is phenomenal. I emailed him on a Sunday and did not except a response until Monday, but he emailed me back right away to walk me through the process. After completing our first estimate we won the project and have received the next one to bid.

Cons: There truly was not one aspect that I did not like about Quantify. The platform was easy to learn and use.

Overall: I can’t stress enough how great the platform is and how amazing the team is behind it. Thanks to Quantify and the team, business is booming and estimating has never been so fun.

Thank you so much for this platform we love it!
